This article leaves some pretty serious issues out of consideration. For example, IQ tests have been “adjusted” within a world that has changed education itself to normalize grades upwards, by literally dumbing-down the information being taught and making the assessments of differences all but illegal.
In addition, world history has exposed many religious charlatans, and the entire New Age movement has corrupted the teachings of every religion it has borrowed from, creating a mishmash of so-called philosophical positions largely fronted by socialist hucksters.
Finally, the internet has shifted what passes for learning to the acquisition of factoids, often provided by globalist manipulators running NGOs to destroy opposition to their schemes. So all young people get upon first, second and even third passes at research are so biased they bend computer screens into pretzels. And, of course, these same young people are never taught actual critical thinking skills - only group agreement tactics and NLP techniques that have been labelled critical thinking - as long as they don’t go off the plantation.
So how can such people evaluate religion? All they learn are the aspects of supposed “failures” of logic in traditions which rely largely upon faith, in a world where they are given success for agreeing with socialist interpretations of the world.
Thus I don’t think the falling away from God is from anything having to do with IQ, but very intense thought control and mind training. And as for calling the results of these manipulations “more intelligent,” well of course they’re going to be called that! After all, what are you going to tell them, that they’ve been rendered mentally weak and all but stupid for going along with the groupthink? No indeed, that will never do.
Precisely. There's no such thing as rising IQs, I'm virtually certain. They're just dumbing down the tests.
